Summer in a glass (well, coupe)! It's got a luscious, almost neon orange color--the very shade of Bain de Soleil's sunning gellee. Pallini by far is a favorite limoncello, got a softness to it. Aperol vs. Campari in a Negroni? Aperol is less aggressive. (PS, make it with Hendrix too...) Angostura bitters are lovely, flowery, pink... Altogether a yummy cocktail! It's light and not too boozy, but for drinking it under the sun, turn it into a highball with ice and selzer.

OMG. However did I miss this? The Dreamsicle was my favorite frozen treat as a kid. I'd been making cocktail versions, the simplest being a screwdriver with added Licor 43 (vanilla) and cream... But whirling this up--fluffed with the texture of xanthan gum--creates perfection. Thanks!

That's a no from me. dawg... Flavor's okay, though pretty orangey (enough that I could find several other options). Kinda thin... But the color! A purply-blue over ice turns a hideous green-gray when cream is added. Any other colored addition (whether translucent/transparent) also yields a weirdly muddy, unappetizing shade. Nope, nope, nope! The rest of the bottle will have to be used on macabre Halloween concoctions.

Perfect for the end of June!
